How do I feel about my paper.
My paper is like 95% done. I still have to put in my in text citations and fix any other errors. I recently just started working, so I've been a bit stressed making sure I have time to do my essay and get it done. Once I hand my paper in, that will be a relief of stress and worrying. Handing my paper in, also indicates we have one more week and then done with this class. It's been a crazy ten weeks for me. Not that the class is difficult, just that my personal life has been complicated. I do feel relived to have my paper done and ready to turn in, once this happens (most likely on Tuesday) I will feel good and happy that I got it done and turned in. I know my topic wasn't difficult, but I still need to make sure I have followed the APA format and did all my citing correct.

Will I keep my blogging going?
Hello, the question I decided to blog about today is "Will I keep my blog going after the ten weeks is up?"
I'm not sure If I will be able to keep up with blogging on my account, but I sure wont delete my blog. It's nice to have a place to come to and if I was wanting to vent or let some feelings out...I could type it here and feel better. I wont say that I will always be on blogging but I will enjoy having it for when I might want to get on. It's definitely been something new to try and get done. It also helps that it's nice to write about whatever and get graded for it, usually a good one at that. I've also think the different topics, we have had to write about, have been some good ones and interesting what type of feelings I have had. So in so many ways it helps to have a blog account, when needed to express feelings. So every now and then I will log in to my account and blog a new post about whatever comes to mind. It's been a fun experience trying something new.

Peer reviews
I feel peer reviews can be helpful in many different ways. Posting on the discussion board, gives other classmates to see what your outlook is on what is being asked. It also gives classmates the opportunity to give feedback to help that person improve there work or help them understand if they are wrong. Peer reviews give you different opinions on how your class work is great or where they might be able to give you some suggestions to make a wee bit better. I like that we have to post our thesis statements and paper drafts, because it helps to hear what others have to say about your paper. I have gotten a lot of good feedback helping decide what direction I should be going in or how I should restate something in my paper. Classmates are good about giving different ideas on where to find information also. I feel it's good to receive feedback from different people, because not everyone thinks the same. Being able to read the difference and piece the helpful information together, can help in the long run when finalizing your paper. What might sound good to yourself might not sound that good to the reader and being able to have your classmates read your work will let you know how it really is. Although some people don't take feedback all that well. Even if the feedback is positive or even negative, some people don't like to hear what has to be said from other people. So it's not always a good thing in peoples eyes. For the most part though I do believe most people like to have that extra opinion on there school work.
